Alexis Vega rescues Mexico in their visit to Jamaica

On Alexis Vega's goal, Gerardo 'Tata' Martino ran all over his area to embrace his coaching staff. The Chivas striker's goal relieved the pressure on Mexico, who had been exposed by a Jamaica side that played with one less player for the entire second half. The Tricolor won 2-1.

Mexico entered the National Stadium with an eye on the playoff positions and waiting to meet the goal of seven points, as requested by the president of the Mexican Football Federation, Yon de Luisa. The first step was taken by the Tricolor, in order to, as 'Tata' Martino said, "get out of this situation in which we got ourselves".

Jamaica put Mexico in trouble when Daniel Johnson took advantage of an assist from Rogelio Funes Mori after a bad clearance that beat Guillermo Ochoa. In the minutes before Mexico was trying to enjoy the advantage of playing with an extra man due to Damion Lowe's red card in the first half.

The Tricolor had to come from behind at Jamaica's National Stadium because the Caribbean team went deep into their own half and redoubled their efforts to protect Andre Blake's goal.

Tata' Martino began to make changes in desperation, seeing that his team was unable to hurt Jamaica, which had a new coach. He lifted Diego Lainez so that the Caribbeans could feel vertigo and 'Tata' concluded his winning move with the entry of 'Tecatito' Corona, Henry Martín, as well as Gerardo Arteaga.

That turned the Tricolor upside down. Lainez put in an endless number of crosses, but it was a shot by Alexis Vega and the appearance of Henry Martin that was enough to equalize those playing in the stadium that boasts a statue of Usain Bolt on its exterior.

There was more, because Alexis Vega, Chivas' and the Tricolor's best player, had to crown his performance in Jamaica. The Chivas player scored the 2-1 goal, which made Gerardo 'Tata' Martino jump for joy, and returned Mexico to the fight for the top of the qualifiers for Qatar 2022.
